This project is sponsored by the Rampart Range Wildlands Project of theColorado Mountain Club. The project entails a 0.4 mile reroute of trailin the Ice Cave Creek drainage above Palmer Lake. Volunteers will have ashort, but steep hike up to the work site. Volunteers must bring workclothes & gloves, water, snacks, sunscreen, and hat.The existingtrail up Ice Cave Creek is hazardous and eroding. It cannot be repairedin place, so we will be realigning the lower portion of the trail so itstays higher on the ridge and joins the Palmer Reservoir trail betweenthe reservoirs. This is a rare chance to build new trail, and a raretrail opportunity in northern El Paso County. It is also a BIGproject,so we need lots of volunteers and crew leaders. The result willbe better access into the Ice Cave Creek drainage and opportunities forloop hikes from Palmer Lake.This project will be completed through apartnership with Town of Palmer Lake, CMC Denver Group, CMC Pikes PeakGroup, Friends of the Peak and Friends of Monument Preserve.If you are aCMC member, it is recommended that you log on to register.

Once the project is full, we will not be able to accommodate anyadditional volunteers. This is for safety's sake - to retain a safe crewleader to volunteer ratio.
